Casino Gaming Commission Update
Dear Neighbor,

 

As you may know, last year the newly established Massachusetts Gaming Commission began implementing the expanded gaming law signed by the Governor in 2011. I know that issues related to impacts of these facilities are a concern to many of us in the district and I want to make you aware of a series of upcoming informational forums sponsored by the Gaming Commission.  These forums are intended to give the commissioners and the public an opportunity to ask questions of experts and highlight important considerations for the Commission in evaluating proposals for gambling facilities in the Commonwealth.
 
Forums will be webcast live and segments of the program will be retained for future viewing on the Commission's website at www.mass.gov/gaming/meetings/meeting-archive.

Community members are encouraged to join the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council and panelists to discuss important mitigation issues which will affect cities and towns as the casino licensing process progresses. The forum will cover myriad mitigation and regional planning matters for the Commission and the community to carefully consider as the Commonwealth embarks on the introduction of expanded gaming. The session will provide the opportunity to hear from a panel of experts with experience from both Massachusetts and out-of-state who will be able to provide unique and informative perspectives on this process.
